Lewis & Clark's 15th Annual Ray Warren Symposium “Bitter Pills: Race, Health, and Medicine,” was held November 7–9, 2018.

On November 7, Deirdre Cooper Owens, associate professor of history at Queens College, CUNY, gave this keynote presentation titled “How Modern Medicine Was Born of Slavery.”

Presentation description: Cooper Owens explains how the institution of American slavery was directly linked to the creation of reproductive medicine in the U.S. She provides context for how and why physicians denied black women their full humanity, yet valued them as “medical superbodies” highly suited for experimentation. In engaging with 19th-century ideas about so-called racial difference, she sheds light on the contemporary legacy of medical racism.

Welcoming remarks and introductions by Maya Hernández and Jasmine Torres, L&C ’19 and RWS co-chairs.

The International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, or INBAR, is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to promoting the use of bamboo and rattan for inclusive, green development. We research and strengthen the global knowledge base for bamboo and rattan and raise awareness of their use for:

♣Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
♣Land Restoration
♣Poverty Alleviation
♣South-South Cooperation
♣Sustainable, Affordable Construction
♣Accessible, Green Energy.

Do we deserve second chances? But what if second chances are earned and if so we do we need to do in order to get them? Some of us may never get a second chance in life to do what you could or should have done but did not, for whatever set of reasons. When you get, if you get, make the utmost best of your second chances! #secondchances #divine #blessings

"Bahr Belá Má", "Waterless Sea", as the Sahara is called by the Bedouins. But deep beneath the dune fields and stone deserts expands an immeasurable reservoir of water resources. Using enormous technical resources, the Libyans have begun to extract fossil reserves of groundwater. Following oil, water is now arousing a new wave of euphoria. In the present desert climate, reserves are only being partally replaced and what has collected over a period of millions of years may be used up in only a few decades.

For years, armed groups have instilled fear in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Hundreds have been killed, and millions are diplaced in the North Kivu and Ituri provinces.

The president has instructed the army to take charge of the two regions for a month.

Soldiers have been given broad powers to conduct searches, make arrests and ban public gatherings.

So will this be enough to stop the violence?

From a bee’s hexagonal honeycomb to the elliptical paths of planets, symmetry has long been recognized as a vital quality of nature. Einstein saw symmetry hidden in the fabric of space and time. The brilliant Emmy Noether proved that symmetry is the mathematical flower of deeply rooted physical law. And today’s theorists are pursuing an even more exotic symmetry that, mathematically speaking, could be nature’s final fundamental symmetry: supersymmetry. Join some of the world’s preeminent scientists to explore the core role symmetry plays in our unraveling of nature’s deepest secrets—and catch a glimpse of profoundly important symmetries that may be awaiting us just over the horizon.

MODERATOR: John Hockenberry
